Very simple.
1968 - Open grille, round taillights
1969 - Split grille, long taillights
1970 - Open grille, long taillights
taillights?
What’s difference between a 1968 Dodge Charger and Dodge Charger RT. Engines??
@@bgood213The R/T package gave you a 440 with an optional 426 hemi
@@HuffyBoi_952 thanks. It was beautiful in the movie bullitt!!!
@@HuffyBoi_952I looked on TH-cam 383 in 1969 is there a difference?
Had a 68 when i was a kid . been obsessed with them ever since . great video . thanks
Spot on! 1970 Chargers were also the first year to have the pistol grip shifter. It also was the first year of electric headlight doors as 1968 and 1969 are vacuum.
technically no!😁 for the second gen yes, but 66 and 67 chargers were electric headlight assemblies. so 68 and 69 were the only two years with vacuum. but thats a different video all together
No matter what the 68 charger is the baddest assed! Charger to me! And the 70 charger with it's wrap around front bumper is gorgeous to me! It's like a big jet intake from a f100 fighter plane!
68 and 69 are the best i don't like the front end of a 70 or the taillights of the 70
68 the best year for chargers
I would agree!!!😁
Absolutely! I love the round taillights and that open grill looks like it could eat anything.
69 is the best with much better rear Taillights
Now your a person that makes sense!
Yes
Another note on the door lock relocation from 68 to 69/70. There were consumer complaints about having to reach way back with their right arm to unlock the door causing a discomfort. So Chrysler moved it towards the center of the door for an easier reaching range. Not so sure it was the theft reason as you could do the same with a longer reach tool to a 69/70. But I could be wrong.
To me it's second nature to know the differences on all the chargers..... But to the new to the hobby this a good video showing all the changes in the model years especially for the the younger people who didn't grow up with these cars, I had a kid come up and ask is that a 70 charger? When I had a 70 dart I explained it's different and told him about exports that did come as A body based chargers it's always cool to share and teach those who will be here to take care of our old cars in the future.
it's second nature to me too, but ive come to find, not everyone shares the same passion/obsession that some of us do. and it turns out, a lot of people look for videos like this
@@floyds.mayhem.garage That's was my point we need to share information about our hobby freely with those that show interest in our hobby especially young people or it will die on the vine. I'm not down with the people who say it's a secret I can't tell you.... There's no fun in that! Your videos shares the joy of owning an old mopar....or any old car and keeps people coming back!
Thanks for this. Im new to appreciating muscle cars, and especially the Charger ( my favourite as well as having driven one ) I luv the look and sound of the chargers.
I always wondered, thanks man, this was really informative and well explained. Great job.
Two more differences of early 1968 Chargers: Ash tray and trunk lid underside support. Early 1968 Charger models had 'slide down' ash trays whereas later 1968 models had fold out ash trays. Later model 1968 Chargers had a smoothed trunk lid underside support whereas early 1968 Chargers had 'cut-outs' in the underside support.
I kept looking for a good thorough explanation on the topic and I must say I have found what I was looking for. :D
Thank you for your time and for sharing this video Floyd.
Glad it was helpful!
This was very helpful. Thank you.
The ‘69 grill and the 70 rear are my favorites.
Cool video mate explained nicely.
What colour are you going to her.
That was very useful and succinct.
Thank you for this video. I’m in the process of looking for one. I wish I could find the one my dad had that he got new in 1970. Keep running into dead ends.
I have a 70, it's so hard finding parts
Great info man. Thanks for the vid
Awesome video thank you.
Just one question. I have noticed that a lot of American folks say Acrost, is that how it is spelled and pronounced? Because Downunder we spell it Across and pronounce it without the letter T on the end. Was honestly curious because as I said earlier, I hear it pronounced as Acrost from a lot of American TH-camrs.
Anyway, thanks again for a great video.
Helpful video, thanks
Awesome info. I'm with you. 68 grill and tails are beautiful.
Cool thanks for the info ✅
Hey Man, is the 70' wrap around front bumper fit on the 69' or we have to change the fenders too?
the whole front end changes, hood, fenders, and valance are 70 specific
@@floyds.mayhem.garage owh, and how much it cost to change it at garage n tune shop?
they're not reproduced, so you have to find original parts. it can get pretty expensive, a 70 charger front end can be 2k to 4k depending on quality
@@floyds.mayhem.garage owh, last question can i custom the 70 grill to mesh grill?
sure, that's how fast and furious has done it on some of the movie cars
The ultimate muscle car that never loses its beautiful charm and power. I'd go for the 1969.
Good video
Awesome video
Any/all of the three would great to own 🙂
Early in 68 the trunks were different .The inside trunk lid the holes were cut out like the hood and later 68 thy stopped cutting out the holes . Mine has the holes cut out.
👍 what license?
Do the 69 and 70 not have reverse lights? I’ve been looking for pictures and don’t see any
yes they do, they are in the rear valance underneath the bumper
Ah sweet, I’m an idiot. Didn’t look below bumper. Thanks dude!
The grille on the 70 has that chrome stripe in the center of the grille along with the wrap around bumper. Me I love the 68,69 front ends and am not a big fan of the 70 front end
You should have mentioned the Charger 500 the rear window and grill design is completely different
Yeah maybe I’ll make a full video on the 500
I am looking to get a 69 should I get one that cheep and then fix it up or should I spend the money for one that already is fixed up?
depends on a few factors. if you're able to do the work yourself, you can save a ton of money building one yourself. but if not, it usually more cost affective to buy one thats done or close to it
Fixed a Charger is very expensive and Time consuming so it's much better to buy the best one you can that needs the least work
💯
General Mayhem Knock off? looks good!
69 is peak perfection of muscle car.
68 had the best tail lights out of them all
I would have to agree!😁
I love the '70 edition with the long tail lights and IIRC what I've read about it, it's HEMI which is a brutalism on wheels.
Btw, is it just me or the '68 doors are longer than the doors of the other two editions? At least looking at pictures (and this video here as well) the '68 doors look 6-10 inches longer than the others.
Could the 68 charger's grill fit on 69 charger?
yes, in fact, they are the same, just the center section and trim changes. the headlight bucket assemblies are the same between the two
@@floyds.mayhem.garage Nice, and what about the '70s? Can the '68 grill and '69 back lamp fit on the '70s Charger?
no, 70 is a design by itself. the headlights are mounted to buckets that are apart of each fender. and then the grille and door assembly is all held in place by the chrome wrap around bumper
@@floyds.mayhem.garage Owh, but what about the charger in FF 4 and 7 movie? That '70 charger have '68 grille and '69 tail lights?
in ff4, his charger had a home ade grille that was expanded metal, but still used the wrap around bumper but it was painted black. the 69 and 70 charger taillights are visually the same. and both 70 chargers in furious 7 had painted bumpers as well, except at the end, he drove the bare metal 68 charger
I love the 1968 and 1970 there all great. Personally, I prefer The
1969 Dodge Charger R/T SE 426 Hemi is the greatest Charger in my opinion!!!!! Nothing beats it!!!!!
(General Lee#01)
68’ is the best year for suuuuuuuuuure
69 with a 68 grille is my favorite
What is a 1969 dodge super bee charger? And why is that cheaper to purchase
There's no such thing. Those are 2 totally different cars; the Charger and the Super Bee.
69 all the way
Can ‘68 tail lights fit on a ‘69?
yes and no, its not a bolt on, the tail panels are different and are welded to the car, but can be cut off and replaced with the other year
@@floyds.mayhem.garage awesome. I like the 69 front, but i do love the 68 rear end.
Any tips when looking for a body to start restoring? Any know problem areas to check for?
What the charger in movie/tv
Is that the General Mayhem?
Pop's need to paint it orange and make it a duke car that would be dope
68 had lines in the dash trim panels also had round emblem above the speedo 69 and 70 did not have that style 68 also had a differnt ash tray that slid down 69 and 70 did not have that.the frount ends will fit all second gens
yeah, there's a bunch of little differences on the interior. stitching pattern on the seats, floor auto shifter handle. seat style, with or without headrest, high back 70 seats, technically the 68 fenders are stand alone as well, where they bolt to the radiator support is different. the hood rest is mounted on the radiator support in 1968, it was on the fender in 69 and 70 making the radiator support and fenders different, they can be pretty easily modified for both though
@@floyds.mayhem.garage I had 10 second jeans over the years and a bunch of parts cars
@@albertherr6951 umm what?
Hey Cooter
1966 was their year IMO
so don't the 69's have right mirrors or no
no, it was an option for the passenger side mirror, you had to pay extra for it up to 1974 I know of for sure
@@floyds.mayhem.garage oh ok. i've heard they did and didn't thanks
@@floyds.mayhem.garage great content by the way
It's easy. The '68 is perfect, the others not so much.
Want one with 68 grill and 69 back
Gimme a Gen One.
69s
Dodge Challenger 1970 хорош, но диски штамповки не по стилю, поэтому - Dodge Charger 1969!😊
so, for more than 40 years you sit on a car and you dont give it a facelift?!?
thats kinda wild! This car is just begging for a fresh coat of paint at the very least!
how old do I look to you?😂 I'm 10 years shy of 40, yet alone being old enough to have owned it long enough to let it sit for 40 years. I've only owned this car a few years, and its was a shell when I bought it, it didn't even have quarter panels
Roadkill car!!! Or recreation? 🤔
it's a clone that I built
Video for people that don't know anything about Chargers. Your welcome for everyone that drives junk.
Everything you like about 68's is everything I don't. The front grille with no separator looks like the mouth of a Blue Whale sucking up plankton. Also, the taillights look like they are sitting out in the middle of a field all by their lonesome with how much blank metal there is around them. '69 made good use of that space. Also, you didn't explain WHY the '70 has a different bumper, hood and fenders. Yes, I know why.
